- Changed chunk edit normalization to prefer write operations, then replace, insert, then delete, with empty write values now treated as clear-content writes.
- Allowed space motions in vim input as `<Space>`, handled them as movement and rendered in error output via token display.
- Adjusted benchmark retry flow to reset files on each retry, reduced per-run call limits, and lowered the default per-turn timeout.
- Added rollback handling for pending INSERT-mode changes whenever a non-final kbd sequence leaves insert mode, and updated the resulting VimInputError with guidance for using `insert` and escaping insert transitions.
- Hardened VimTool execution by resetting stale insert state before processing commands and by only applying empty inserts when Vim remains in INSERT mode.
- Adjusted Vim search handling to mimic Vim magic escaping and taught `o`/`O` numeric prefixes to act like `Go`/`GO` line inserts, then updated the expected error message test.
- Clarified the Vim tool prompt to require `file` and clearly separate key commands from insert text.
- Added updated usage examples and best-practice guidance for whole-file replacement, line edits, search/replace, and undo.
- Documented key/mode constraints, including insert-entry requirements and required `<Esc>` handling between non-final commands.
- Fixed `G`/`gg` motions to distinguish "no count" (go to last/first line) from explicit count.
- Added parsing for literal `\x1b`/`\r` bytes and backslash escape sequences (`\r`, `\e`, `\n`, `\t`).
- Updated `#readCount` to return `hasCount` flag propagated through operator and motion resolution.
- Synced vim buffer fingerprint from disk on reuse to handle LSP writethrough reformats.
- Added `toolStrictMode` support with `all_strict`/`none`/`mixed` options to OpenAI compatibility.
- Fixed OpenAI-completion strict-mode flows by capturing failed HTTP responses and retrying once as non-strict.
- Fixed completion error reporting by surfacing captured status, headers, and JSON `type`/`param`/`code` details.
- Improved strict-schema enforcement with WeakMap memoization and circular-schema detection in sanitization.
- Fixed OpenRouter provider lookup by resolving fallback model IDs for suffix and date variants in registry resolution.
- Refactored benchmark tooling and added async RPC error-window tracking for scheduled run execution.
- Added `VimTool` in `src/tools/vim.ts` with `open`, `kbd`, `insert`, and `pause` actions.
- Implemented `src/vim/{buffer,engine,parser,commands,render,types}.ts` for interactive Vim modes and operators.
- Updated `src/tools/index.ts` to normalize `edit`/`vim` tool selection and skip the inactive edit variant.
- Added `vim` registration in `BUILTIN_TOOLS` and `toolRenderers` for discoverability and output formatting.
- Added streaming renderer snapshots with viewport, caret focus, and diff output for `vim` calls.
- Added `test/tools/vim.test.ts` and `scripts/vim-edit-benchmark.py` coverage for the new editor stack.
